About John Meir & Son
John Meir & Son manufactured earthenware and ironstone at the Greengates Pottery in Tunstall. Henry Meir joined his father in 1837, according to this source page, and the firm retained John Meir & Son after John died in April 1844. It continued until 1897, although some directories used Henry Meir or Henry Meir & Son. Its wares included Roselle and several ironstone shapes and transferware patterns for home and export markets.
The advertised establishment date of 1798 relates to the earlier pottery rather than John Meir, who started in 1812.
